Painting Masterclass with Carol Barnett

Designed for emerging and experienced artists, this workshop offers a chance to connect with the landscape in a personal and intuitive way. Through plein air studies using materials like ink, graphite, charcoal, acrylic or oils, you'll explore ideas on paper, in a journal or on canvas. Carol will help you grow these initial impressions into a confident, expressive body of work.

Bring your own painting kit such as acrylics, oils or mixed media including a blank page journal suitable for jotting down ideas and sketching.

This masterclass is suitable for beginners through to experienced artists.

Carol Barnett is an Australian artist, living and working in Tasmania/lutruwita. Carol works in large traditional format paintings, using the landscapes of lutruwita as her muse, and as a metaphor to explore ideas and themes of colonization. Nature provides an unlimited amount of inspiration of colour, shapes, and form, which is captured through an abstract lens on the canvas.
